The Insurance Information Institute collects all kinds of data regarding auto insurance throughout the country. For instance, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the average costs of carrying auto insurance in 2013 was $841.23, which is an increase from recent years, but no higher than insurance premiums were in 2004. These figures indicate that premiums for maintaining insurance have remained relatively steady over the years, although there are always some variations based upon the make, model, and age of the insured vehicle and the age, sex, and driving history of the insured driver. Wisconsin has one of the lowest average auto insurance rates in the country, which is $621.05. This average cost is higher than only four other states, which are Indiana, North Carolina, Nebraska, and Wyoming.
At a minimum, Wisconsin residents are required to carry liability insurance on their vehicles. The required liability insurance must include at least $25,000 for one person who sustains injuries in an accident, as well as at least $50,000 for multiple people who sustain injuries in an accident, and $10,000 for property damage that occurs in an accident. Despite these legal requirements, however, many drivers still fail to carry insurance with the required coverage, or to carry insurance at all. In these situations, however, your own insurance policy is likely to cover the bulk of your damages, as underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage often will be a part of your regular coverage.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
